ABSTRACT: Interactions between the government and Oregon
State University were assessed with attention to the
following areas: employment and personnel administration
(regulations regarding equal opportunity, affirmative
action, and nondiscrimination); students and student life
(regulations regarding admissions, financial aid, records
management, special student programs, and instructional
activities); sponsored research (regulations regarding
grant and contract research, the Agricultural Experiment
Station, the Cooperative Extension Service, and the
Sea-Grant Program); and facilities and physical plant
(regulations regarding the health and safety of university
students and staff, and access for the handicapped). Some
specific topics of analysis are as follows: the state merit
system, interpretations of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act
and related legislation, students' rights, the Buckley
Amendment (privacy of student academic records); types of
student financial assistance programs, research
accountability, Extension Service programs, use of human
subjects for research, and the University's Radiation
Center and occupational safety. It is concluded that a
moral dilemma arises when simultaneous pursuit of the many
societal goals and mandates requires the application of
resources beyond the institution's ability to provide them.
